Question

If mFGH = 60, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

if u need help reading the numbers in the picture let me kno

Answer 2

Choose one answer.
a. 8
b. 10
c. 4
d. 14

Answer 3

the equation in the corner is (5x+10)

Answer 4

and those are both 12's at the end

Answer 5

Didn't you have another congruent triangle problem earlier?

FP = PH = 12
the two half-triangles share side PG
and the angles at F and H are both 90

So the two small triangles are congruent, meaning the angle labeled as (5x + 10) is equal to the corresponding small angle beside it.

Together, the two angles make up angle FGH, and the measure of FGH is given as 60

Answer 6

hmmm so how do i find x?

Answer 7

put the equation = to 60?

Answer 8

almost...

FGH is twice as big as (5x+10), so...

(2)(5x + 10) = 60

And then solve for x
